It's typically some ###### with his hat on sideways and his seat all the way back so he can ride "gangsta" style.

If my Acura had a rocket launcher, I would target these guys.
Some of us have short legs and longer arms. If my arm is not resting on the window and 10, my fingers sometimes dangle like you described (I like to drive 12 and shifter). To be fair though, I only wear my gangster hats forward, because it is not 1993 any more.

I think you're just jealous of my awesome Blue Jays gangster hats and manual domestic 4x4. And if your Acura actually had a rocket launcher, my loud inappropriate rap music would distract you from firing it.

I have one hand at 12 and the other hand feeding me sunflower seeds, but most of my driving is on the highway. In the city, I tend to keep one hand at 10 and the other about 3 or 4 when I am not shifting.

Left hand somewhere between 11:42 and 12:07.

Right hand adjusts the heat, A/C, changes songs on my iPod and occasionally, is used to flip the bird to anyone that cuts me off.

Always two hands on the wheel. One usually at 2-3 and the other at 9. After having a wheel fall off, you tend to keep both hands on the wheel at all times. Paranoid? maybe. Safe? definetely.

edit: and holy crap, Lacuna Coil? F'n a!!! I've been off the net too long.

Sorry, but what would having two hands on the wheel do rather than one if the steering wheel fell off?

Edit: You probably meant wheel, wheel...

alternate both hands at 12 o'clock. I rarely drive with two hands on the wheel. I find it really uncomfortable.

It really depends on if she wears her hair up and poofy that day, or just in a pony tail.
